Pros
- Fellow employees and team leaders are good to work with, the supervisors, managers, and executive leadership team not so much. - Bilingual Spanish friendly. - Fast growing company with little advancement opportunity. - Okay but not a good benefits package. - Employees are not micromanaged under certain chains of command.
Cons
- Executive leadership makes poor decisions affecting the livelihood and quality of life of employees on short-notice. - Grew too fast for their own good. Hired in wrong departments causing extended periods of downtime with little to no production. - Management of the Production floor on Days have egos, play favorites, and micromanage everything. If you breathe wrong, they chew you out or talk badly behind your back if you’re on their hit list. - Shop floor is chronically disorganized to a dangerous degree. This also causes production bottlenecks as there are no quality checks until parts reach the mission critical department. - Advertised pay rates are not competitive with other companies, due to ignorance about inflation. - Raises are frequently denied or inadequate leading to high turnover. - Pay cut all swing shift employees by $0.50 only to give it back as a “raise” 6-weeks later to some employees while others got $0.25 back and other departments received a $0.75 “raise”. - High stress. Workers are held responsible to make up for a lack of planning, quality control, and for exceedingly poor inventory control on the part of Management. - Management modified the working schedule of the swing shift to be more of a graveyard with no notice. - Management fails to listen to worker's concerns nor trust worker's experience, skill, and knowledge, causing poor decision making. - Management will hire friends and family to take positions of importance from more qualified, tenured employees. Extreme nepotism. - Management promotes based on seniority/longevity of you being at the company, not off performance or merit. - Management will promote employees to “temporary” supervisory or lead positions without pay raises or back pay once position is official. - Executive Leadership fears to institute, review, and enforce work procedures and standards, but workers are expected to adhere to confusing and poorly communicated standards which leadership doesn't follow themselves. - Management policy changes enforce a hostile workplace environment that makes employees feel devalued and not empowered. Makes employees feel like they are in basic training (military) or a prison camp. - Management is not concerned about disorganization or safety concerns.
